About This Book

Over the course of seven days the narrative follows the developing courtship between Miss Christobel Charteris and a young man called the Boy, set within a household of family friends and servants. Everyday scenes of tea, tennis, garden visits and domestic gossip reveal character, quiet humor, and shifting control among participants. Misunderstandings, small confidences, and an interlude presented as a dream gradually deepen emotional awareness, and a final day provides revelation and resolution of the romantic tensions that have built through the week.
